I love these things, I got confused a little on level 23 when it said eleven one, but i thought it said one one one, I have had to use the walkthrough for some parts of some puzzles but I do most myseld

On a 10 row if there is a 9 then black out all the squares that will have to be filled in. That will leave a block of 8 in a row, with 2 on either side

0 * * * * * * * * 0

Use that information to fill in other squares, and eventually you will figure out which block (left or right) will be filled in.

With 10 blocks and the number 8 given it will look like:

0 0 * * * * * * 0 0

& 7

0 0 0 * * * * 0 0 0

and so on.

This strategy also works when there is more than one number given per row. Use this technique to figure out which blocks MUST be filled in and you can solve all of them. It gets really complicated, but if you enjoy these types of puzzles, it's fun!

(sorry for the long string of anon comments)To do with my last post, it would be where every block WITHIN THE SAME NUMBER falls on top of each other... then there has to be a block there. So taking from the last example, all you would know in that row is:x x x x x x x 0 0 x x x x x x

If one studies the puzzles closely, no matter how big, there is always a row or column that has a unique combination or part of one. Once you establish that starting point, you can see by the later comments solving these is just a matter of math and logic. If the cell in RowX ColY is filled, what effect does that have on the surrounding rows or columns? Study long enough and the solution will reveal itself. I did not have any problems with the controls and actually they worked nicely. NoNoGrams remind me of the old MasterMind board game. They are great fun, and I thought the Biblical references were pretty witty! Thanks Bart!

I FINISHED IT!!! UGH!!!! BRAIN POWER OVERLOAD, EYES BURNING!! I'm gonna go to sleep for a loooooooooong time. Believe it or not, the set after the first 5x10 is easier than that one. I got stuck on it, and then I started using the x to mark out the ones that I knew weren't gonna be filled in. Why I wasn't using it before?; I don't know. But I finished. (the last one is easier than most)
